About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always been a big part of who I am. I’ve experience caring for dogs of many different breeds and ages, including senior dogs. When my own dogs grew older, I was there to care for them and help with their needs, including cleaning up after them and making sure they were comfortable and well cared for. I’ve also volunteered at humane societies and have experience caring for friends’ pets, which has taught me how to be patient, attentive, and adaptable with different personalities and needs. Most importantly, I genuinely love dogs and treat every pet as an individual. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and able to enjoy their best life while their owners are away. I’m currently enrolled in college and work a part-time job in the evenings, which gives me plenty of availability throughout the day to care for your pets. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends and can work with your pet’s individual routine and needs. In the mornings, I can stop by for walks, playtime, cuddles, and some quality time together. In the afternoons, I can check in on them, let them outside, and make sure they get plenty of attention and love. In the evenings, I can come by for another visit to play, cuddle, feed them, and give them another opportunity to go outside. When caring for a dog in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routine and create a schedule that works well for both the pet and their family. I understand that every dog has different needs and preferences, so I take the time to keep them comfortable and maintain the routine they’re used to. I love taking dogs on walks, playing with their favorite toys, spending time outside, and giving them plenty of attention and cuddles. If the home has a fenced-in yard, I’m happy to let them enjoy some supervised outdoor playtime. If there isn’t a fenced yard, we can always go for a walk and then come back inside for plenty of playtime, relaxation, and cuddles.
“A lovely house with attentive charming owners who let our kitties choose their own rooms. They have a friendly kitty of their own who got on well with our cats and a golden doodle who was also gentle and friendly. Great photos of the cats every day kept us in the loop and reassured.”

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
